A confuser's `expected: refuse` does not mean unanswerable. Every confuser carries its true gold (`answer_numeric`) and is a solvable coverage target; `refuse` means "the reader can't yet comprehend this category, so refusing is the honest outcome — committing a WRONG value is the defect." Example: 0001 "buys a toy for 30 coins … how many left?" is plain 50-30=20; it is refuse only because today's reader takes `buys` as a gain. Adds §2.1 (graduation protocol): when a general mechanism reads a category correctly (validated on train_sample + the category, wrong=0 preserved), those cases graduate refuse -> solve and committing their gold becomes a win. Reframes the `spurious` verdict as "solved-before-graduation" (a graduation signal, with pair-consistency as the genuine-reading-vs-surface-match discriminator), not automatically a defect. Notes that no v1 category is degenerate, and how a truly-unanswerable case would be labelled (answer_numeric: null + degenerate: true) so the two senses of "refuse" stay distinguishable. Spec only; no corpus/runner change (today's commits are wrong-reading, so spurious stays flagged until a category genuinely graduates). |
